  4. Norm is 1-2 lbs per wk, you're right on schedule!! Congratulations!
  5. Everything the above posters said and learn all you can about Lap Band surgery before hand. I was on these boards and reading books for 7 mths before surgery and feel it was a very worth while education.
  6. As well as she's doing, she might never need one! If she does, we can go hold her hand or slap the crap out of her, whatever it takes!
  7. Hi Lizzy! Welcome! Great people, a lot of useful info and some fun too! Post often and best wishes on your journey!
  8. Down 8.6 lbs from last visit 4wks ago and 36 lbs since 2 wks before surgery. Woohoo! Dr put in 3cc in my empty band and said most times green zone is between 4 cc & 7.5cc. He said," You are doing very well with the weight loss and I know it's more you then the band". "Pretty soon, the band will do more for you"." Only liquids for 24hrs". He also said for me to listen to my shoulder pain and stop eating, when it hurts. Cheryl, you were right about the nerve thing. I knew you were all along, but having my Dr confirm it just makes it even better. Next appt Jan. 7, 2013 Makes me happy, when I make Dr. happy!
  9. destynee is a doll , just like you!

  13. I think she was talking about herself b/c she posted first. But if you feel guilty for what you wrote, that's on you.
  14. After meeting with my surgeon at a seminar , I then had an appt and they had all my insurance info and what my insurance needed me to do before final approval. They weighed and measured me and discussed how everything works. They had my schedule and I was told step by step what I needed to do.
  15. Thoughts & prayers for you too! Breath deep and think of the prize!
  16. Blender def over food processor( too much cleaning up) , but I have a Magic Bullet that is awesome. You can get similar brands at Target really cheap. There small, easy to clean and comes with like 6 different cups, so you're not always washing one.
  17. I have been banded now for 6wks and posted on the first page and after reading back all of this stuff(just for fun), it has made me nauseous . I love my band!!!!
  18. ROFLMAO!!
  19. A great blog Love! It really should go on a thread to make sure everyone see's it and reads it, not hidden away for a select few who read blogs. Everyone needs to read this! Another great thing is knowing you've been there, done that. Thank you for your wisdom, encouragement ,love & the book! You're the best!
